About this map

The New River carves a winding path through this portion of Anderson County, anchoring a landscape where small settlements like Rosedale and Stainville are connected by narrow mountain roads. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring nature of the local topographic character, with the New River serving as the primary drainage for numerous tributaries such as Ligias Fork and Stony Fork. The mapping details several upland flats and ridges, including Pine Orchard Flats and Carroll Ridge, which overlook the river valley.

Genealogists and local historians can find specifically named locations like Phillips Cemetery Ln and Roberts Ford, along with early industrial or logging outposts such as Welch Camp and Gennett Camp. The geography is defined by prominent peaks including Buffalo Mountain and Pilot Mountain, which have long constrained settlement to the narrow corridors along the water. The transition from the northern reaches near Clinchmore to the southern area around Duncan Flats reflects a settlement pattern deeply tied to the rugged terrain of the Tennessee Cumberland Mountains.
